  1. Re:Holy Hype-fest Batman! on South African Education Department Bans Free and Open Source Software · · Score: 0

    It's not locked into Windows. You can create OS X, iOS, and Android applications with Delphi.

    Um, Delphi has no more ties to Oracle than Java does. Oh wait, Java is owned by Oracle. Um, what exactly is your point?

  3. In my experience, AT&T is awful as an ISP on The Next Big Fiber Showdown: Austin · · Score: 0

    I waited years for AT&T to offer UVerse to my home in Austin, and when they finally did, all they offered was 12Mbps. I repeatedly told them (as recently as January of this year) that I wanted more bandwidth, and they repeatedly told me they wouldn't be upgrading "my area" further anytime soon (78736). Screw AT&T. I hope Google (and others nationwide) whip your lackadaisical asses into oblivion.

  4. Very Interesting on AMD Details Next-Gen Kaveri APU's Shared Memory Architecture · · Score: 0

    The question now will be how long it takes before the drivers (OpenCL, DirectX, OpenGL) and even the OSes themselves can take advantage of the architecture. And once that's done, AMD would be wise to work directly with the big compilers (gcc, Clang, msvc, and Intel if they would do it) to allow developers to flip a bit so that the RTLs could use OpenCL for as many math calculations as possible. After all, this is just one step closer to performing nearly all floating point math on the "math-coprocessor" (aka GPU).

  5. Finally! on Rendering Synthetic Objects Into Old Photographs · · Score: 0

    I finally get to remove famous ex-gfs from old photographs! Scarlett- consider yourself forgotten, so PLEASE stop all those desperate phone-calls and emails.

  6. That's no moon.. it's a space station!! on Kepler Discovers 'Phantom' Exoplanet · · Score: 0

    It's not a planet. It's really a planetoid-sized space station leaving and re-entering orbit as they test their main engines.

  7. Re:It hardly will change the processormarket.. on AMD Details Upcoming Bulldozer Architecture · · Score: 0

    Isn't that what people were saying after K7 and before Opteron?

  8. Re:TiVo invented timeshifting? on The Sad History and (Possibly) Bright Future of TiVo · · Score: 0, Troll

    One could argue that if innovation moves far enough past the initial idea, it indeed qualifies as reinventing. While the rest of us pony up and recognize what an innovation Tivo was, you're of course free to continue to express your technical objections by shuffling your VCR tapes, having your VCR flash "12:00am", and looking up the upcoming TV schedule with your TVGuide and setting VCRPlus to record shows. The rest of us will use our DVRs and not have to worry about adjusting the tracking.

  9. Re:Crazy on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    So I suppose I'm out of luck with my Asus Ageia PhysX card and my 4800X2.

  10. And in a potentially related news story.. on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 1

    "..scientists from the CDC in Atlanta have been desperately trying to isolate the source of the rapidly mutating virus, and are attempting to round up anyone and everyone that's been in contact with former ISS officer Don Petitt... The virus seems to be unlike any other virus found on Earth. If you have been in contact with Mr. Petitt, any member of his family, or especially his dog Astro, please contact CDC officials immediately..."
